Along those lines, what about functions that reference a global
variable inside the PKGBUILD?  like:

__KERNEL_VERSION=2.6.12

post_install() {
  depmod -v $__KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
}

I could see that specifically happening in kernel modules (which is
where a lot of the .install file sed-ding happens, and why I
remembered).  If those variables aren't there in the .INSTALL file, then
what?
